The python_requires is the important one; it means once we publish a
new release on PyPI, pip install will know not to try to install it if
you run it on Python 2 and will fall back to an older version.
This change is made because the linkchecker handlers only process
Tags.
The test HtmlPrettyPrinter handler is updated to output element text
because its support for non-Tag elements has been removed. This results
in a number of the existing tests still passing.
Migrating from legacy GitHub services/webhooks to the new Travis CI
GitHub app means we also have to use travis-ci.com instead of
travis-ci.org to see build status or history.

I want the Python 3.5 travis job to run just tox -e py35, without the
oldbs4 job, and without an explicit TOXENV setting that is awkward to
insert in the .travis.yml (also, it reorders the jobs putting 3.5 below
3.8 which annoys me).
I think I found a way of doing that by renaming py35-oldbs4 to oldbs4.
bs4 is a dummy package managed by the developer of Beautiful Soup to prevent
name squatting. The official name of PyPI’s Beautiful Soup Python package is
beautifulsoup4. The bs4 package ensures that if you type pip install bs4 by
mistake you will end up with Beautiful Soup.
However, for requirements, it's cleaner to use the proper name.
For downstream packaging in Fedora, this avoids the need of packaging
the dummy package.
The test was added but not the fix in:
ecd06776 ("Fix TypeError when checking https link and test", 2019-11-11)
Which is caught by the new test when run on Python 3:
___________________ TestHttps.test_x509_to_dict__________________
